your yulexperience / talking about writing

[morbane]

belatedly -

This is another semi-traditional Yuletide thing: reveals posts for talking about how it went. Did you match on the last fandom you expected? Did you lose the canon you were writing for and need to reacquire it? Did you re-write everything at the eleventh hour? Etc.

(Please be circumspect in discussing a negative experience with your author, your recipient, or someone else. If you have an unresolved issue, mods would like to hear about it at yuletideadmin@gmail.com.)

Otherwise - replies welcome in comments, or you can link to reveals posts you've made elsewhere.

Amazing!

I took a long time writing/programming my gift (it was an ambitious IF project and I'm frankly surprised I finished it!) and many, many people commented on it telling me I did a good job (except my recip, but oh well. you can't have it all.) which was VERY validating! I need to make more interactive fics/games, to be honest.

And somewhat ironically I also received some really lovely IF for one of my most obscure fandoms which was wonderfully crafted. I spent about five whole minutes squealing over it and I still smile every time I think about it. ::hearteyes::
